UNTITLED 67

2013

Vincenzo de Cotiis encases discarded film strips in resin to create a striking juxtaposition between organic decay and crystalline preservation. The work transforms forgotten cinema into a contemporary sculptural object, where the translucent resin simultaneously protects and imprisons fragments of visual history. By elevating obsolete media materials, de Cotiis explores themes of memory, obsolescence, and the transformation of ephemeral cultural artifacts into enduring artworks.
